It is a dark wine, and the nose is very expressive. Blackberry, cassis, vanilla, tea and a slight brambly note are present. On the palate, savory cola and oak spice get into the act, while the tannins are firm, but not overly so. The dark fruit is there, but the savory aspect of the flavor profile definitely leads the way. Have a juicy filet with this one - they deserve each other.

Vibrant pop of cherries, cassis. Medium to full. Sustains well. Juicy and food friendly. Enjoyed with a lovely roast chicken!
